compiz is still around and is still part of the ubuntu-unity-desktop
package ...

however, you can *not* use compiz with the recent gnome ... 

you can indeed go back to unity by installing the above desktop package
 (it will then show up in the session list of the login manager) and
use compiz there or set up some own desktop env around compiz yourself
by manually tinkering. 

gnome by design does not allow replacing the window manager any more
though (not sure about KDE though) ...
